Many home buyers want to take advantage of cheap foreclosures and cheap interest rates. Intuitively they know they can get a good house at a good price, fix it up and have instant equity.The main questions are:

How do I find the deals in Louisville?

How do I know that it’s a deal?

Will a bank in Louisville lend me money to buy a fixer-upper?

After I get the loan to buy the house I won’t have the cash on hand to pay for the renovation. How can I get renovation money?

Well the good news is it’s not easy! Why is that good news? Because if it were simple everyone in Louisville would do it and there wouldn’t be enough opportunity left for you.

How do I find the deals?You can try to scout out the deals on public websites. But to really get plugged into the cheap foreclosures you need to work with a Louisville area Realtor who understands the foreclosure market. Keep in mind, when you are buying a house you are not the one paying the Realtor’s commission. The seller is paying the Realtor’s commission. It does not cost you a penny to put a professional Realtor on your side dedicated to helping you find the deal.

How do I know that it is a deal?Same answer as the first question. You need to work with a Realtor who understands the Louisville market. You need a professional Realtor who will understand the after-repair-value of the house. The Realtor should have the ability to look at the fixer-upper and know what the end result can be. You want a Realtor who understands renovations and can speak contractor language and understand your vision for the project.

Will the bank lend me money to buy a fixer-upper?Most lenders will not, but some lenders in Louisville will. How do you find those lenders? I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but, the answer is going to sound familiar. You need to work with a professional real estate agent who understands the renovation market and has actual experience with local or national lenders who lend money on fixer-uppers right here in Louisville and surrounding counties of Oldham, Shelby, Spencer and Bullitt. Your Realtor will be able to suggest several specialized lenders. You are also encouraged to research lenders on your own, as well, and compare rates, terms and conditions.

How do you get money for the renovation?

There are several programs available that enable buyers to borrow both the purchase money and the renovation money. The FHA 203K renovation loan is an example. They lend you the money to buy the house and set aside the extra money you need to get the house renovated. Again, you need the involvement of the professional Realtor who understands the program and the process and who can connect you with loan officers who specialize in renovation loans.

This whole process becomes very easy when you have the right professionals on your side.

Find a Louisville fixer-upper, get the money to fix it up, get it fixed up, have instant equity and a happy ending.

If you have to sell your house to avoid foreclosure – please call me immediately! I have helped hundreds of homeowners avoid foreclosure by negotiating a short sale with their lender.

If you are behind on mortgage payments then please, please take action immediately!

Millions of Americans are in the same situation no fault of their own. Too often that results in foreclosure and bankruptcy.

It is extremely hard and painful to come to the realization that the house cannot be saved.

The worst thing that you can do is deplete all of your savings just to keep up the mortgage payments and then lose the house anyway. Another terrible reality is running up credit cards and other loans just to keep up the mortgage payments but eventually lose the house to foreclosure anyway. In these cases the house is gone, savings are gone and extra unnecessary debt has piled up with nothing to show for it.

The major problem is that house prices have plummeted well below the amount owed on the mortgage. If you are struggling to make the mortgage payments please keep in mind that it may be many years until house values come back up to make the house worth more than what you owe.

Did you know there is a totally valid and legal way for you to sell your house for an amount short of what you owe and never have to pay back the difference? It is called a short sale.

In a short sale your lender allows you to sell the house for whatever the market is willing to pay, even if that amount is short of what you owe. The bank calls it a short sale because they accept an amount short of the payoff. In most cases the bank forgives the difference and you never have to pay it back.

That debt forgiveness is documented in a short sale acceptance letter, so you get that in writing and never have to worry about paying back the difference.

The lender requires you to list the house with the local Realtor who specializes in short sales. That ensures that the house will be marketed to the broad public and get the highest price, as opposed to just selling for sale by owner or calling up individual homebuyers. Don’t worry about paying real estate commissions or closing costs. Your lender allocates money from their proceeds to pay all of your closing costs and commissions.

I have personally helped hundreds of homeowners in the Louisville area avoid foreclosure by successfully completing a short sale on their house.

Please call me, Dave Halpern Realtor, at any time for a confidential and compassionate discussion about how you can put your mortgage behind you and start the rebuilding process as soon as possible. My direct phone number is 502-895-3100 and you can call me any day of the week and any time of the day.

Please take action immediately. Imagine a life without the overwhelming debt.

When looking for your next home make sure to select a Realtor who will listen to your needs and will help match the location of your home to your lifestyle.

Here are sample of questions your Realtor should be asking you;

Where do you work? How important is it to you that your home be close to your workplace? Is it important your home be close to highways to enable you a comfortable commute to work?

If two people are buying the home together, and if they both work, which spouse needs the shorter commute time to the job location?

Are there any non-work commute time considerations? For example taking kids to and from school, and taking kids to and from extracurricular activities.

Are there any frequent trips to community centers, shopping or recreation locations?

What are your hobbies and would they be a factor in the location choosing the location of your next home? For example, if you are an avid bicycle rider do you want to be near bicycle paths and other bicycle friendly venues? Are you an avid runner or jogger, therefore would proximity to certain parks be a factor?

At any given time there are many houses on the market for sale. Why not optimize the location of your house? The right location could mean so much more time that you will have available in your life to relax, be with family and friends, and even save money on gasoline and wear and tear on your vehicles.

Of course, on the other hand, you may desire your home to be far, far away.

As a Realtor I believe that people’s needs and wishes come first. It is my pleasure and my commitment to you to match a home that is best for you. I want my buyer clients to enjoy their new home every day and know that out of all the homes on the market you selected the one that will be your home base for creating new memories.
